Leaving The Industry Better Than You Found It

Welcome to Healthy, Wealthy, And Wise! In tonight’s episode, Mary Oquendo and Michelle Knowles dive deep into the philosophy of leaving the grooming industry better than you found it. From the importance of continuing education and learning from mentors, to standing strong as an advocate for both the animals and yourself, our hosts share personal stories and insights about fostering a kinder, more progressive grooming community. They also discuss navigating challenging shop environments, creating your own legacy as an educator, and the power of sharing even the smallest ideas for industry innovation. Plus, they touch on why earning a living wage and achieving a healthy work-life balance, exemplified by grooming professionals taking well-deserved family time, are essential for a thriving, sustainable career.
